In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until well incorporated and store in a air tight container for maximum shelf life. Thoroughly coat chicken wings with chili rub. This can be done up to 1 day in advance.
Place the chips in the smoker tray and set it on the grill, above the hottest part of the grill, trying to obtain a constant temperature of about 275°-300°, add chips as needed.
Once the chips begin to smoke, place the wings on the opposite side of grill. Turn once during cooking process, at about 45 minutes.
